The first statement you made is speculation. You have no way of actually proving the reasoning behind the timing, so it's not an excuse. Secondly, what do you want? The mans soul? Do you honestly expect him to respond to every single article, every single post or thread, and believe that when he doesn't it constitutes him ignoring the situation? Use some common sense. Thirdly, this is not the auto industry, so lets not pretend the standards are the same because they are not. And again, looking right at his post, yup, looks like participation to me.
